This adventure retreat is 15 nights, meaning you will drop deeply into the daily step-by-step ritual. Imagine leaving the your busy life behind for an extended period, so that you gift yourself some much-needed life contempation. Taking time way from life, challenges, problems and "stuff" gives us space to see and feel things from a different perspective. The path will work its special magic on you - while your body and legs do the walking, your heart and soul will do the talking. Connect to the power of thousands who have walked before you carrying something in their heart to heal, release or bring forth through this sacred walking. Excited to see where the path leads, what treasures you stumble across, the delicious local food you get to savor and the meaningful conversations you will strike up as we explore the path ahead together.
It is just sheer bliss knowing all you have to carry is your light rucksack as your main luggage
gets transferred daily.
This is Portugal and Spain in style!
After a delicious local breakfast we get ready to explore today's path following the seaside (Litoral del Norte) Camino route from Porto to Santiago de Compostela. This is an epic 15-night adventure covering 259 kilometres that will be sure to wear some tread off your favourite walking boots and put a sparkle back in your heart!
We stop regularly to soak up the majestic coastal views and resting our feet while eating the best local food for lunch. Think authentic barbeques with catch of the day and local vegetables grilled to perfection. Or of course another yummy coffee and Pasteis de Nata to fuel a few more kilometers. That's my favourite time of day - a sweet and caffeine treat! We fill up our water bottles from drinking fountains or streams and learn about the local culture from our local bilingual guide. It's a delight to explore the treasures we come across - symbols, churches, murals, sculptures and sacred pilgrim markers.
Each day varies from 12 - 30 km walking traversing different landscapes that
offer insights, culture, beauty, laughter and connection - as well as making room in
our bellies for the local pilgrims feasts of food after a long day exploring! All that fresh air, talking
and exploring will make us hungry for sure.
Each night you can explore the villages and towns to soak up local life and all the hidden gems around each corner - or rest up for the next day ahead.
Any irresistible shopping you do en route can just be popped into your main luggage without you having to worry about carrying the extra weight every day.

WHO WILL SIMPLY LOVE THIS CAMINO!!
If you are a water baby then this route is definitely for you! You LOVE the healing and inspirational energy of the seaside - salty air, cooling sea breeze, crashing waves, coastal flora, sand-dunes, exquisite water and sand to gaze at while you contemplate life. This route hugs the Portuguese and Spanish coastline, rivers and estuaries until we turn inland for the last stretch to Santiago de Compostela.
You relish the idea of exploring two different cultures. Portugal is a country full of wonders — charming castles, pristine beaches, and a metropolitan capital spattered in remnants of the past if you happen to visit Lisbon too. Its buildings are covered in thousands of intricately decorated hand-made tiles in countless colors and patterns. The food is humble, fresh and always elevating local ingredients and simple flavors to their greatest potential — and its pastries are divine recipes concocted by nuns. Its people are friendly, kind and helpful - especially when walking the Camino - they are always on hand to show the way by waving in the direction of the next bit of path.
Spain is all about the food, colours, passion and the vibrant local food markets The Spanish are all about savouring and not rushing - to take their time, and to deliberately appreciate the world, people and food ! From absorbing the architecture or revelling in a siesta before walking the final part of the day, will you listen to the call to slow down a bit?
You are also guaranteed laughter, insights, tears, amazing conversation, delicious food from two different cultures, and a truly memorable journey with Kate and Corlene!
Make lifelong friends formed by walking, eating and exploring life together. Your life and outlook simply cannot be the same after walking 259 kilometers!
